As a result of the the ever-increasing product selection and improvements in technology, choosing the right mattress has become a particularly tricky exercise. It does not help that comfort is also highly subjective. Thankfully, most brands allow for extensive home trials nowadays. In a series of posts, we will try to simplify the selection process by highlighting key points on some of the top names in the industry. Hopefully, this will prevent any unwanted returns or exchanges, regardless of how easy those may be.
To ensure your safety, the selection below is from CertiPUR-US certified brands. This means that foams used in mattress production do not contain mercury, lead, formaldehyde, phtalates, and other harmful compounds. You can also expect low VOC emissions for indoor air quality.
